The  Study  Outline  and 
Its  Use 

The  series  includes  outlines  on  art,  literature,  travel, 
biography,  history  and  present  day  questions. 

The  outlines  vary  in  length.  If  more  topics  are  given 
than  the  number  of  club  meetings  for  the  season,  those 
topics  that  are  more  difficult  to  handle  or  on  which  there 
is  less  available  material,  may  be  dropped.  If  there 
are  fewer  topics  than  the  scheduled  meetings,  certain 
topics  may  be  divided. 

Lists  of  books  are  appended  to  most  of  the  outlines.  It 
would  be  well  for  the  club  to  own  some  of  the  recom- 
mended books.  .Others  can  be  obtained  either  from  the 
local  public  library  or  from  the  state  traveling  library. 
When  very  full  lists  are  given  it  is  not  necessary  for  any 
club  to  use  all  the  books,  but  the  longer  list  gives  more 
room  for  choice. 

The  best  material  on  some  subjects  may  be  found,  not 
in  books,  but  in  magazines.  These  may  be  looked  up  un- 
der the  subject  in  the  Readers'  Guide  to  Periodical  Liter- 
ature, Magazine  articles  and  illustrated  material  may  be 
obtained  from  the  Wilson  Package  Library,  For  terms 
see  fourth  page  of  cover. 

A  list  of  the  study  outlines  now  in  print  will  be  found 
on  page  three  of  this  cover.  For  later  additions  to  the 
list  write  to  publisher.

"The  reason,  why  the  American  people  care  so 
much  for  the  ideals  that  are  presented  to  us  in 
the  country  life  movement  is  that  there  is  something 
very  deep-seated  and  permanent  within  us  to  which 
these  motives  can  appeal.  We  are  a  country  life 
people.'*

INTRODUCTION 

This  study  outline  takes  up  some  of  the  social  prob- 
lems of  the  country  community.  It  suggests  a  series  of 
discussions  on  subjects  related  to  the  farm  home,  the 
country  church,  the  rural  school  and  the  rural  neighbor- 
hood. It  is  not  concerned  with  the  business  of  farming 
or  with  the  profession  of  housekeeping.  It  does  not 
touch  on  the  economic  problems  of  farm  life.  These  sub- 
jects— marketing,  farm  labor,  rural  credits,  the  cooper- 
ative movement,  etc. — may  be  covered  in  a  later  outline 
if  it  seems  desirable. 

How  TO  Use  the  Outline 

Adapt  the  outline  to  your  own  community  needs. 
There  are  five  main  divisions  of  the  subject:  The  Farm 
Home ;  The  Rural  School ;  The  Country  Church ;  Com- 
munity Life;  and  The  Country  Town.  Give  as  much 
time  to  the  discussion  of  each  of  these  subjects  as  the 
needs  of  your  community  demand.  Under  each  subject 
you  will  find  topics  for  discussion.  An  entire  evening  or 
afternoon's  program  may  be  given  to  one  topic,  or  several 
topics  may  be  combined  to  make  up  one  program.  The 
subject  of  the  rural  school,  for  instance,  if  covered 
thoroly  might  occupy  four,  or  perhaps  five,  programs. 
But  if  you  already  enjoy-  the  advantages  of  school  con- 
solidation you  will  need  to  give  less  time  to  this  subject. 

How  To  Get  Reference  Material 

Each  subject  for  discussion  is  followed  by  a  list  of 
references  for  reading  and  study.  These  fall  into  three 
classes ; 


6    .   ,  ,  ,3  C-  fi::^:  'INTRODUCTION 

(1)  Books.  Twenty-three  books  have  been  used  as  a 
basis.  A  complete  list  of  these  will  be  found  on  page  35. 
In  the  reference  the  name  of  the  author  and  the  paging 
are  given.  "Betts,  p254-60''  means  Betts  &  Hall :  "Bet- 
ter rural  schools,"  pages  254-60. 

To  get  the  books:  (1)  Buy  them  if  you  can;  (2)  Ap- 
ply to  the  nearest  public  library;  (3)  Write  to  the  Library 
commission  at  the  capital  of  your  state.  The  library 
commissions  of  a  number  of  states  have  said  that  they 
will  glady  cooperate  with  clubs  using  this  outline. 

If  you  are  limited  in  the  number  of  books  you  may 
have,  you  will  find  those  marked  *  most  useful. 

(2)  Magazine  articles.  Articles  have  been  chosen 
from  recent  numbers  of  popular  magazines  and  from  a 
few  of  the  best-known  farm  journals.  The  public  library 
and  the  library  commission  may  again  be  able  to  help  you, 
or  you  may  rent  magazine  articles  from  the  Wilson 
Package  Library. 

(3)  Documents  and  bulletins.  These  may  be  ob- 
tained free  of  charge  or  may  be  purchased  at  a  low 
price.     Write  to  the  address  given. 

A  Suggestion  to  New  Clubs 

If  you  turn  at  once  to  the  subject  Organizations  and 
Clubs  on  page  23  and  make  use  of  the  references  you  may 
find  helpful  suggestions  on  organization. 

This  outline  is  planned  for  women's  clubs,  farmers' 
clubs,  community  clubs  or  other  organizations  of  men  and 
women  who  wish  to  come  together  for  the  study  and  dis- 
cussion of  live  topics.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  club 
making  use  of  the  outline  will  not  remain  content  with 
discussion.  Learn  from  what  others  have  done  and  put 
the  new  ideas  into  practice.

The  Rural  School 

"The  country  offers  ^continual  interest  to  the  mind  which  has 
been  trained  to  he  thoughtful  and  observant;  the  town  offers 
continual  distraction  to  the  vacant  eye  and  brain.  Yet  the  ed- 
ucation given  to  country  children  has  been  invented  for  them  in 
the  town,  and  it  not  only  bears  no  relation  to  the  life  they  are 
to  lead,  hut  actually  attracts  them  toward  a  town  career.^'

34  STUDY  OUTLINE  ON 

TEN  TESTS  OF  PROGRESS  FOR  YOUR 
NEIGHBORHOOD 

Here  are  ten  agencies  of  progress  which  we  believe 
no  neighborhood  can  be  without : 

1.  Proper  church  and  Sunday  School  organizations. 

2.  A  three-teacher  school — with  instruction  in  agri- 

culture and  domestic  science,  and  a  school  li- 
brary patronized  by  both  old  and  young. 

3.  A  community  hall  or  auditorium    in  connection 

with  the  school  house,  suitable  as  a  place  of 
assembly  for  whatever  meetings  the  neighbors 
wish  to  hold. 

4.  A  local  farmers'  organization. 

5.  A  club  of  farm  women. 

6.  A  community  league,  meeting  quarterly  or  oftener 

and  embracing  all  citizens. 

7.  A  community  fair  held  each  fall. 

8.  A  young  people's  club,  probably  embracing  de- 

bating, musical  and  dramatic  features  in  addi- 
tion to  industrial  features  such  as  corn  clubs 
and  canning  club  work. 

9:    A  '^credit  union"  or  mutual  savings  and  loan  asso- 
ciation to  encourage  thrift. 

10.     A  neighborhood  baseball  team  or  other  agencies 
for  recreation. 

Credit  your  neighborhood  with  ten  points  for  each 
agency  of  progress  it  has,  and  see  how  much  it  lacks  of 
making  a  perfect  score — 100.

soil,  both  physical  and  spiritual.  .  .  .  He  drives  at  the  very 
heart  of  the  economic  phase  of  his  subject,  yet  in  doing  so  he 
reveals  rare  poetic  gifts  of  vision  and  expression." — Spring-
